DON’T FORGET TO VOTE

 

The Blog and for that matter Twitter will be running silent (that is no new Tweets or Blog Posts) from 12am tonight until 7pm Saturday when the voting booths close.

More on what you can and can not do on social media between 12am and 7pm tomorrow can be seen here: Use of Social Media

Explicitly

Social media on election day

There are additional restrictions on election day.  On election day (from midnight on 19 September until 7pm on 20 September) there is a general prohibition of the publication of any statement that is likely to influence which candidate or party a person should, or should not, vote for.

Election advertising does not have to be removed from social media so long as:

• the material was published before election day
• the material is only made available to people who voluntarily access it, and
• no advertisements promoting the page or site are published on election day.

If you use social media, do not post messages on election day that could breach these rules.  The Commission recommends candidates and parties temporarily deactivate their Facebook campaign pages to avoid the risk of supporters committing an offence by posting on your page.  For other forms of social media where others can post comments the Commission recommends that where possible security settings are changed so that other people cannot post messages before 7pm on election day.

Posts on social media that are not connected in any way with the election can of course be posted on election day.
